As part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the iconic Porsche 911, the automaker’s Stuttgart museum will increase the number of planned “Rolling Museum” appearances throughout much of 2013.

Kicking off its current schedule will be the seventh-annual Langenburg Historic Rallye, which draws a diverse mix of vintage cars to the grounds of Langenburg Castle, near Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany. For the 2013 Langenburg Historic Rallye, scheduled for April 19-21, the Porsche Museum will send a 718 W-RS Spyder, to be driven by Juergen Barth, whose father, Edgar Barth, took the 1963 European Mountain Championship in the same car. Raced from 1961 to 1964, the 718 W-RS earned the nickname “grandmother” for its competitive longevity.

Next on the calendar is this year’s Mille Miglia, to which the Porsche Museum will send a fleet of five cars: a pair of Porsche 550 Spyders, two 356 Coupes and a 356 Speedster. As the event runs from May 16-19, it’s almost a given that drivers will encounter everything from sun to snow over the course of those 1,000 miles.

For the 90th birthday of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Porsche will send two cars that factored heavily in the history of the storied endurance event, which the German manufacturer has won a total of 16 times. The 1970 race-winning 917 KH (for “Kurzheck,” or “short tail,” in reference to the car’s reduced rear bodywork) will be on hand along with driver Hans Herrmann, who piloted the red-and-white number 23 car to a win with co-driver Richard Attwood.

Also appearing at Le Mans in June will be a 1987 Porsche 962. Though not an actual Le Mans-winning car, the 962 to be exhibited is representative of both the 956 and 962 models that dominated on the Circuit de la Sarthe from 1982 to 1987.

Another key event on the global automotive calendar is the Goodwood Festival of Speed, celebrating its 20th anniversary from July 11-14. The semi-centennial of the Porsche 911 will factor heavily in this year’s event, and Porsche is bringing both street and racing versions of the seven generations of 911 models. If that’s not reason enough to attend, the Porsche Museum will also send a 917 KH, an open-cockpit 917/30, a 936 Spyder, a 935/78 (known affectionately as “Moby Dick” for its pronounced tail), a 962 and a 1998 911 GT1.

Porsche’s Rolling Museum concept allows fans of the marque to see historically significant (and well cared for) Porsche models driven as their designers and engineers intended. For motorsport fans, hearing the glorious bellow of a Porsche 917′s 4.5-liter flat-12 engine is exponentially more rewarding that seeing the car as a static display in a dusty museum.
